7 Perfect Thank You Email after an Interview Samples

Gone are the days when a good cover letter, resume, attire and communication skills were enough to get you a job. With such cut throat competition, it isn’t enough.

So what does one do?

You need to send a thank you email after the interview. It shows that you appreciate that someone took some time from their busy schedule for you and gives you an edge in the hiring process too.

Here are a few samples of thank you emails after an interview to help you create a lasting impression.
